Let us design your book covers!
Professional book cover design is important because book sellers and readers will look at a book for only a few seconds before they make a decision to buy or sell your book. Publishers of hard cover trade books estimate that, in a book store, they have thirty seconds or less to attract a buyer with a well designed cover. Very possibly you'll have less time than that to make a good impression on a buyer. The cover of your book is critical to your sales. Yes it's that you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover but the fact is people do.
Make sure the book they choose is yours. We offer highly competitive rates.
Book Cover Must Haves
There are some things your self-published cover must have, including:
- An easy to read title
- A subtitle that tells a bit more or is a sales come-on
- If you’re well-known in your field, your name should be visible as well; if you’re not famous or close to it, it’s not as important.
- Title repeated on the spine.
- A solid sales pitch on the back
- An ISBN on the back, along with the proper category listing
- The cover must ALSO work as an ebook cover.
- Most successful book covers are done in four color, so don't stint there.
You Need A Book Cover Designer
Although you could design a book cover yourself I think it would be a big mistake to do so. The whole process of reproduction is hugely different. Printing on paper requires an exactness of design that designing for display on a computer screen simply doesn't.
We use state of the art software, preferred by most printers, to create your book cover. We communicate with your printer at each stage to make sure your book cover is delivered in conformity with their guidelines using all the specs that they provide. We make ourselves available to your printer after your files are submitted to deal with any technical problems should they arise.
